TechRadar HTC Sensation review28th May 2011
HTC has gone from being an unknown manufacturer for bigger brands to one spewing out leading Android smartphones. The Desire was a landmark phone in the fight against the iPhone, but now tech has moved up a level - can the HTC Sensation stay at the sharp end?
TechRadar LG Optimus Black review27th May 2011
Sitting alongside the LG Optimus 2X, the LG Optimus Black is a top-end smartphone, slipping in at just over £400, attempting to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S2 and Apple iPhone 4 for the smartphone crown, but with considerably fewer features and less processing power than its LG stablemate.
SlashGear Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play review27th May 2011
he first thing you’ll notice when opening the box is how small the phone is. We were expecting a bit of a clunker, but the phone is sleek and sexy looking, and not too big for a front pocket. Exact dimensions are 4.68 inches tall, 2.44 inches across and a respectable .63 inches deep. It’s definitely thicker than your average keyboard-less smartphone, but not enough to make it annoying. As you pick up the phone, it feels solid and well made. The screen itself slides up, but instead of revealing a typical keyboard, you get a mini PlayStation controller! The buttons are well placed, and the phone doesn’t feel too top-heavy when held by the controller portion. There are also two shoulder buttons that are a little awkwardly placed, hidden behind the screen. They also feel like they have almost too much give.
The Inquirer Samsung Galaxy Ace review27th May 2011
Design wise our first impression of the Ace were good. It's a stylish phone that got a nice and simple look. It doesn't stand out in the crowd like, for example, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc does. We do, however, like the neatness and the little things like the sliding cover over the USB port and the fact the SD card slot is on the side, under a cover.
Pocket-lint HTC Sensation review27th May 2011
The HTC Sensation is the Taiwanese company’s flagship 2011 device. Announced in April, it’s now in in our hands for a full review, which some might see as quite a quick turn around, but in the flesh it doesn’t feel rushed. The HTC Sensation is set to be the phone that hangs-on to the high-end, leading a wide range of devices in their march to Android victory.
Pocket-lint Hannspree Hannspad review27th May 2011
Tablets may be the gadget of the moment, but their relatively high prices still put them out of reach for many tech fans who simply can't spare the funds for what is, essentially, a toy for grown-ups. Even those that turn their noses up at Apple products because of their notoriously steep price tags will have noticed most of the top-tier Android tablets are just as pricey if not more so. That's why is nice to see Hannspree - best known for its PC monitors and novelty TVs - offering a reasonably priced Android-based option for just £250.
GSMArena Motorola Xoom review26th May 2011
Phones far and wide wanted to be the iPhone killer and you know what – tablets are no different. The iPad needs to get used to living with a bounty on its head. And always be ready for the likes of the Motorola XOOM. But the XOOM is no ordinary competitor. We’re talking the first Honeycomb tablet, a cornerstone for Android. It’s Motorola’s first tablet too. If they play their cards right, it could be a big money earner for a company in trouble, so we know Moto gave it their best.
TechRadar Acer Iconia Tab A500 review26th May 2011
In the contest to replace your laptop – and maybe even your TV – Android 3.0 tablets such as the Motorola Xoom are ganging up on the Apple iPad 2 by sheer quantity. We absolutely thrilled over the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, for example. Now it's time for the Acer Iconia Tab A500's day in the sun. In many ways, this is all about the operating system, so we'll admit that the differences between the three main Android 3.0 tabs are marginal at best.
The Register HTC Wildfire S review26th May 2011
With HTC churning out a different handset for seemingly every demographic, the original Wildfire was ‘the weeny one’. The recent Wildfire S updates the concept with improved screen and processor, the latest (almost) Android 2.3 Gingerbread, plus GPS, Wi-Fi and 3G, at half the price of a high-end handset. The pricier handsets might be fighting each other to see just how big they can make a screen that will still fit the in the average pocket, but the Wildfire S makes a virtue of its petite proportions.
TechDigest Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play review25th May 2011
There's no denying that the Xperia Play is a lot chunkier than we've come to expect modern smartphones to be. At 16mm thick and weighing 175g, it leaves an undesirable bulge in your trouser pocket that may well raise a few eyebrows on a cramped commute to work. The actual design of the phone however, with its silver curves and sharp 480x854 4-inch touchscreen is actually rather pleasant overall. Its extra heft is not without good reason though; where many phones would house a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, the Xperia Play instead places a set of gaming controls. Featuring full PlayStation certification, you get a digital directional pad, Start and Select keys, two shoulder buttons, two touch sensitive thumb nubs to mimic analogue sticks and the Triangle, Circle, Cross and Square buttons so familiar to fans of Sony's gaming consoles. Though the flat thumb pads take some getting used to, all buttons are well spread out and comfortably placed; you could tap away at these controls without strain for a good few ho
CNET UK Sony Ericsson XPERIA Mini Pro preview25th May 2011
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro manages to stuff a decently sized screen, a spacious physical keyboard and a heap of smart-phone features into a case so tiny that it may as well be called the Tardis Phone. The Mini Pro will arrive in shops this autumn. We don't know how much it will cost yet, but, based on the small price tag of its predecessor, the Xperia X10 Mini Pro, we expect it to be fairly affordable.
Mobile Phone Features Samsung Galaxy Ace review24th May 2011
The Samsung Galaxy Ace looks and feels like your typical smartphone, not only that it looks very much like your typical Samsung smartphone. But that’s a good thing, it is modelled on the shape of the successful Samsung Galaxy S and that was a winner for us getting an 8/10. So what will the Galaxy Ace get?
Pocket-lint LG Optimus Black review24th May 2011
The LG Optimus Black offers up the sort of specs that where considered high-end in 2010. The advent of dual core devices, higher resolution displays and cameras has created a superphone category - occupied by the sibling LG Optimus 2X for example - leaving the Optimus Black to slot into a sub high-end position. Make no mistake, the Optimus Black is a very capable device, offering the sort of specs you’ll find on the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc or last year’s Samsung Galaxy S.
T3 Samsung Galaxy Mini review24th May 2011
Samsung’s Galaxy family has been breeding like wild fire in recent months. The latest addition to the Android-focused fam’ is the Galaxy Mini, a pared down, budget blower that aims to offer the full-on Google experience without a recession-busting price tag. But just how does this cell stack up? And is it worth plumping for over the brilliant HTC Wildfire S?
The Inquirer Motorola Atrix review24th May 2011
THE MOTOROLA ATRIX is what you might call a 'hero' product, if you worked in PR. But even those of us that aren't paid to spin can see that it's an interesting idea. At the heart of the system is a dual-core smartphone that runs Android 2.2 Froyo, Google's popular smartphone operating system. It offers extra value with the laptop style dock and other accessories. We've seen pretty much the whole kit (we made a video to prove it), but the most interesting part is the Atrix, which is arguably Motorola's best smartphone yet. Although the hardware doesn't have the same wow factor that you might get with a Samsung Galaxy S II or an HTC Sensation, it's still a very sleek and likable handset.
CNET UK Sony Ericsson XPERIA Mini preview24th May 2011
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini is adorably tiny, but promises to be packed with smart-phone features, thanks to its Android operating system. Its 3-inch touchscreen also means this compact phone looks thoroughly usable. The Mini will arrive in shops this autumn. We don't know how much it will cost yet but, based on the tiny price of its predecessor, the Xperia X10 Mini, we expect it to be cheaper than average.
The Register Archos 70 review23rd May 2011
Whenever I ask people what they want in a tablet, I usually get the following answers in descending order of importance: a price tag south of £200, a 7in screen to keep things compact and the ability to play any video or music files you care to mention out of the box plus the option to play them out from HDMI. The Archos 70 fits that bill to a tee, if you shop around.
Pocket-lint Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 review23rd May 2011
When we first tried out the 10-inch Galaxy Tab in and around Google I/O, people frequently mistook it for an iPad, even with the army of marching Androids on the back. After extended use, the differences are more obvious. The slim design and large screen look very like an iPad, with the broad black bezel and sleek silver curves. It’s unnoticeably slimmer than the iPad 2 (8.6mm thick) and an ounce lighter, but the 16:9 ratio of the 10.1-inch screen is longer than the 9.7-inch iPad 2 screen. It’s also thinner, lighter and sleeker than other 10-inch Android tablets like the Asus Eee Pad Transformer and the Motorola Xoom. Either way, at 595g it’s light enough not to weigh you down, although it is far bulkier to carry around than a 7-inch tablet like the BlackBerry PlayBook.
T3 LG Optimus Black video review23rd May 2011
The LG Optimus Black is the smartphone that's hoping to tempt you away from your iPhones, Samsungs and HTCs. It may not have a dual-core processor but what it does have is a 4-inch market leading NOVA touchscreen and some natty LG-specific offerings. Is it worth the trade-in? Watch our LG Optimus Black video review as we test the Android smartphone
SlashGear HTC Flyer WiFi review23rd May 2011
Let’s take a look for a bit at the United States’ first look at HTC’s Flyer tablet. As you may well know by now, there’s another version of this device out there by the name of EVO View 4G – have a look at our hands-on with that version of the device from back at CTIA 2011. The device we’re looking at here and now is the Best Buy-sold version of the device being here a WiFi-only piece of hardware. This device has a nice silver metal and white plastic chassis, Gorilla Glass front over a 7-inch 1024 x 700 pixel resolution capacitive touchscreen working with a 1GHz single-core processor and Android 2.3.3 with HTC Sense 2.1 for Tablets. And it’s got a pen. Is this the writer for you?
